How it works

  1. Warm welcome and intro: Meet your local street artist at the designated spot in Geneva. We’ll start with a quick intro to the tools and safety.
  2. The artist's secret: Watch a live demonstration where your mentor shows you how to control the pressure, create thin lines, and fill large areas.
  3. Sketching your vision: Pick up a marker and draft your design. Whether it’s your name or a Swiss-inspired piece, we help you refine the concept.
  4. First sprays: Take the cap off and feel the pressure! You'll start by practicing basic shapes and "tags" to get a feel for the spray can.
  5. Filling with colour: This is where the magic happens. We’ll help you choose a vibrant palette to bring your sketch to life on the wall or canvas.
  6. Adding the 'Pop': Learn how to add highlights, 3D shadows, and those crisp outlines that make graffiti jump off the surface.
  7. The finishing touches: Your instructor will help you fine-tune the details to ensure your masterpiece looks gallery-ready.
  8. Photo session: We’ll take professional-style group and solo photos of you with your work—perfect for your Geneva travel blog or Instagram!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join?

Absolutely not! Our Geneva graffiti workshops are designed specifically for beginners and tourists looking for a unique experience. Our professional artists will guide you through every step, from holding the spray can correctly to mastering complex shading. We focus on fun and creativity rather than technical perfection, ensuring everyone leaves with a piece of art they are proud of. We provide all the tips and tricks you need to feel like a pro.

Is the workshop safe and what protective gear is provided?

The safety of our guests is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP3 respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to keep your clothes clean. The spray paints we use are professional-grade but handled in a controlled outdoor environment. Our instructors are experienced in safety protocols, ensuring a worry-free environment where you can focus entirely on your artistic expression while staying protected from fumes and paint splatters.

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit of paint on. While we provide full protective overalls, sometimes a little 'creative dust' finds its way onto your trainers! Since our Geneva workshops often take place in vibrant outdoor settings, please check the weather forecast and dress accordingly—layers are always a smart choice for the Swiss climate. We provide all the art materials, so just bring your energy!

How long does a typical workshop last?

Standard tourist workshops usually last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of street art, a demonstration of techniques, and plenty of hands-on spray time for you to complete your masterpiece. If you are on a tight travel schedule around Lake Geneva, let us know, and we can tailor the duration to fit your itinerary without rushing the creative fun.

What is the cost and what does it include?

The price generally ranges from CHF40 to CHF85 per person. This variation depends on the size of your group, the specific location chosen in Geneva, and the amount of materials required. We believe in transparency, so there are no hidden costs. For the most accurate pricing tailored to your specific travel group, we recommend using our online cost calculator or requesting a custom quote via our website.

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes, you can! Depending on the workshop format, you will either work on a large communal mural or your own individual canvas. If you choose the canvas option, it makes for the ultimate, authentic Geneva souvenir to take home. If you're travelling light and can't carry a canvas, don't worry—the memories and the photos of your large-scale wall art will last a lifetime. We'll make sure you get the perfect shot!

What happens if it rains on the day?

Geneva is beautiful, but the weather can be unpredictable. If rain is forecast, we usually move to one of our covered outdoor locations or an indoor hall to ensure you stay dry while you spray. Because we have a large team and 'backup artists', we very rarely cancel. We always aim to find a solution that keeps the creative vibes flowing regardless of the Swiss weather.
